there was a time
when this was new
i thought i saw
a glimpse of you

you left me clues
along the way
but you never
gave your heart away

i haven’t learned
no, i can’t let it go
how many times can i endure
the word no?

twisting
and
molding
the truth

avoiding
accountability
denying
what we knew

..

i reject
it
with my whole heart

this is not reality
this is art

so

who
did you daydream
about

when you
were trapped
with me?

you have
failed
to molt

and
it
will
destroy
you

a simple,
sudden
shout

an interruption
i can't stop
thinking about

unexpected
and abrupt
and beautifully
uncorrupt

choices
building
contradictions
to
your
heart

stroking your ego
is the work
of a weak woman
